1998 Nurturing Magazine Book Pick. Book picks are chosen by Nurtuting Magazine for their usefulness, uniqueness, strong focus, consistency, and outstanding contributions in the area of natural family living and parenting. Nuturing Magazine says, "A common sense,
straight-talking book written for teens struggling with peer pressure,
wanting to leave home, drugs, premarital sex and other adult issues. An
idealistic book promoting the same old-fashioned morals and wisdom that
every child would hear from his parents if he was willing to
listen...sometimes hearing it from someone else makes the difference."

"One of the resources available for the kids on my TEAM is "The Teenager's
Guide to the Real World"† It is a valuable book that addresses some very
important issues the TEAM can apply for living today; peers, respect
responsibility, money, laws and love. The guide also provides insight for
future choices to be made, whether it be; when to have sex, education,
business oportunities, or buying a home. It's a powerful book packed with
information providing necessary tools in becoming a respectable person
supporting a civil human race.† The "Guide to the Real World", was
definitely written for today's teenagers, so they may work together
towards a better tomorrow."

"With budget matters and bill signing consuming much of my time, it is not often that I have
the opportunity to sit down with such an engaging read. However, this book has certainly found
a place at the top of my reading list, and I look forward to learning about your views on
how teenagers can become successful members of society."

"...Once teenagers know and truly understand the answers to questions like these - along with hundreds of others -
they are able to see how the world works and plan a path toward success."

Houston Tribune, February 1998

"Should be mandatory reading for all teens."

Walter H., Va.

"I find myself wishing I would have discovered this book under the
Christmas tree when I was about fourteen."

Lee K, Pa.

"This is great resource in teaching parenthood unit in middle school reproductive health"

Brenda R., S.C., teacher

"I'm so very happy to find such an incredible resource"

Susan H., parent

What Teenagers Are Saying...

"I set out to determine if the book can, in fact, assist in the teen transition.
As a high school sophomore, I admit that I was skeptical of this book. However, a quick glance at the table of contents satisfied my yearning for all I ever wanted to know about adult life. I can now easily say the description was indeed legitimate."
